Stem Cells Can Treat DiabetesPosted: Friday, February 02, 2007
A new study suggests that a mother's stem cells could be stored and used to treat her diabetic child.
The study found that a phenomenon known as microchimerism – in which mother and child exchange stem cells during pregnancy, which live on in the child – may actually help the child repair injury, and not trigger autoimmunity as the study's authors had initially suspected.
The study was carried out by scientists from the University of Bristol and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle. They looked at maternal cells in children with type 1 diabetes and found that around 20% of these children have unusually high levels of maternal DNA in their circulation. The study of 172 individuals and the pancreatic tissue from four males was designed to test the hypothesis that small numbers of maternal cells might led to type 1 diabetes.
However, there was no evidence that the mother's cells were attacking the child's insulin cells and no evidence that the maternal cells were targets of an immune response from the child's immune response. Instead, some maternal cells enter the child's pancreas and function as insulin-producing beta cells.
"Our initial theory was that perhaps, in some situations, too many cells cross from mother to fetus in pregnancy. Could diabetes result because the child lost tolerance to those cells because they are genetically half foreign? Our research appears to disprove this," said one of the authors, Professor Edwin Gale from Bristol University. "It is possible that the maternal cells may even be helping to regenerate damaged tissue in the pancreas."
"To our knowledge a maternal contribution to endocrine function has not previously been described," the scientists say. "Our findings also raise the possibility that naturally acquired microchimerism might be exploited to therapeutic benefit." If a diabetic child were treated with their mother's stem cells these cells would, theoretically, be a better genetic match than cells from an unrelated donor.

Oxygen - home use
Because of your sickness, you may need to use oxygen to help you breathe. You will need to know how to use and store your oxygen.
Your oxygen will be stored under pressure in tanks or produced by a machine called an oxygen concentrator.
You can get large tanks to keep in your home and small tanks to take with you when you go out.
Liquid oxygen is the best kind to use.
An oxygen concentrator:
Sometimes, you can use a portable concentrator, which is battery operated.
You will need other equipment to use your oxygen.
One item is called a nasal cannula. This plastic tubing wraps over your ears, like eyeglasses, with two prongs that fit into your nostrils.
You may need an oxygen mask. The mask fits over the nose and mouth. It is best for when you need higher amounts of oxygen.
Some people may need a transtracheal catheter. This is a small catheter or tube that is placed into your windpipe by surgery.
If you are using a transtracheal catheter, have your respiratory therapist or health care provider teach you how to clean your catheter and humidifier bottle.
Tell your local fire department, electric company, and telephone company that you use oxygen in your home.
Tell your neighbors, friends, and family that you use oxygen. They can help during an emergency.
Using oxygen may make your lips, mouth, or nose dry:
Place some gauze under the oxygen tubing behind your ear. This will help keep the skin from getting sore.
DO NOT STOP OR CHANGE your flow of oxygen. Talk with your doctor, nurse, or respiratory therapist if you think you are not getting the right amount. Take good care of your teeth and gums.
You need to make sure oxygen will be available for you during your trip. If you plan to fly with oxygen, tell the airline before your trip that you plan to bring oxygen. Many airlines have special rules about traveling with oxygen.
If you have any of the following symptoms, first check your oxygen equipment:
If your oxygen equipment is working well, call your health care provider if:
Call your child's doctor if your child is on oxygen and is:

John W. Casella
I worked at Casella Waste Systems full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Very strong company with high values and ethics
Cons – There was a high level of competitive competition
I have been working at Casella Waste Systems
Pros – There is plenty of room to move around in the company, and try out different positions. The working environment is laid back, and friendly. They put trust in their employees to get their jobs done.
Cons – High employee and management turnover. No yearly raises. No raises for taking on a more challenging, or different position.
Advice to Senior Management – Look into the jobs that people do, see if they have special skills, and can do things that the company usually hires out to contractors. Reward these employees with higher compensation than new hires.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
I have been working at Casella Waste Systems full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Good pay, great boss, good people at all levels
Cons – Economy hurt them bad and they didn't change with it fast enough to save a lot of good people's jobs
Advice to Senior Management – Listen to the little people
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
I worked at Casella Waste Systems full-time
Pros – You will receive a paycheck. There are some exceptional people working here, however they are the hourly employees.
Cons – Casella pays its employees the bare minimum despite having extremely dedicated, hard working intelligent individuals working for them. The company allows management to make decisions concerning terminating an employee based on whether the manager 'likes' an individual not on the persons job performance. Casella has gone through an excessive amount of management changes which has caused confusion for employees because new management changes everything, even what worked. Employees don't know who they should report to.
Advice to Senior Management – Employees are often asked for what they need or what their thoughts are but it doesn't appear anyone ever actually listens. Dedicated, productive, and valuable employees are over looked and / or fired because they don't fit in some sort of 'mold'. Employees sacrifice personal time and work off the clock just to get the job done, maybe you should ask why.
I have been working at Casella Waste Systems
Pros – Dedicated employees, good benefits, and a passionate CEO.
Cons – Top down management, employees feel they have no voice with minimal if any reward for their hard work and efforts, and leaders who are chosen because of who they know, not because they are the best fit.
Advice to Senior Management – Take some of the leadership advice you feed to your people. Put more effort in the selection process of your leaders so your hard working hourly employees can feel that pride they once had.
I worked at Casella Waste Systems
Pros – Good people at the hourly and lower mgmt levels.
Cons – The company is broke. People are tired and demoralized. No faith in Sr. Mgmt. Trying too hard to be like the "big boys". Local, hometown feel has been destroyed by current mgmt. Noone listens to the type of equipment you need. Lots of money spent on putting lipstick on pigs, none spent on their people.
Advice to Senior Management – sell to Waste Connections immediately.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

The quest for campaign cash knows no shame — and no borders. The camps of both President Obama and his Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, are holding fundraisers abroad as the days before the election dwindle.
Obama's campaign is tapping his roots at an Oct. 14 reception for U.S. citizens in Dublin (that would be the one in Ireland, not Ohio). The president touted his Irish heritage during a trip to the Emerald Isle last year, during which he drank the local brew and joked that he had "come home to find the apostrophe" his family had lost somewhere in its history. (It's worth noting that Obama's Irish ancestor was born in the auspicious-sounding town of Moneygall.)

Rainbow Bullseye Tee
You'll hit a creative bullseye with Tulip® One-Step Fashion Dye™! Create this vibrant t-shirt with rubber bands and a splash of color.
Designed by Cheryl Ball, courtesy of iLoveToCreate™, a Duncan Enterprises Company
Material List
- Tulip® One-Step Fashion Dyes™: Yellow, Red, Violet, Blue, Green
- White T-Shirt
- Rubber Bands or Zip-Ties
- Plastic Tablecloth
- Scissors
Project Instructions
Step: 1
Wash shirt in washer to remove sizing.
Step: 2
Cover work surface with plastic tablecloth.
Step: 3
Place damp shirt on prepared surface and smooth flat. To create bullseye design, pinch front of shirt just above center then lift fabric up and scrunch fabric into a tube shape. Wrap a rubber band about 2-inches from tip, wrapping several times until tight. If using zip-ties, determine placement then wrap and pull tightly. Repeat every 2-inches or so along entire shirt.
Step: 4
Wearing gloves from dye box, fill a dye bottle half with water. Replace cap and shake until all dye is thoroughly mixed. Remove lid, add more water to line indicated on bottle, replace cap and shake to mix.
Step: 5
Carefully squeeze Yellow dye on tip, turning shirt until entire tip has dye.
Step: 6
Squeeze Red dye around center of next section, letting it bleed toward rubber bands. Insert tip of bottle into folds and squeeze more dye as needed. Note: Try not to squeeze too much dye next to rubber bands to keep white areas between colors. Squeeze dye on in the following order: Yellow, Red, Violet, Blue, Green then repeat colors.
Step: 7
Let set 4 to 6 hours. Use scissors to carefully cut off rubber bands or zip ties.
Step: 8
Fill washer to a full load setting with a small amount of laundry soap. Once agitation starts, insert shirt. Dry in dryer or line dry.
Use photo as a guide and follow manufacturer's instructions for all products used.
Use pointed scissors to cut off rubber bands or zip ties - the points get under the rubber bands easier and make it easier to cut. Be sure not catch fabric when cutting.

WZVG-AM to broadcast Charlotte 49ers games
- Staff Charlotte Business Journal
The Charlotte 49ers have agreed to a three-year deal with WZVG-AM to serve as the flagship radio station for basketball broadcasts. And the contract will expand to football broadcasts in 2013, when UNC Charlotte fields its first team in the sport.
The school recently broke ground for a $45 million, 15,000-seat stadium and practice complex, after hiring Brad Lambert its first head football coach.
"We couldn't be more excited to begin a long-term relationship with the Charlotte 49ers," says Lanny Ford, general manager at WZVG, known as Fox Sports 730 AM. "We are thrilled to be the home of a basketball program with such a strong tradition. And to be chosen to be part of history with the launch of 49ers football in 2013 is huge."
The agreement, negotiated by the 49ers media-rights holder Signature Sports Group Inc., calls for WZVG to carry Charlotte 49ers men's basketball games and The Alan Major Show for the next two years.
In the third year, the agreement will expand to include the 49ers football broadcasts and The Brad Lambert Show.
Financial terms weren't disclosed.

Thanks for clarifying, Shawn. I guess that "Fretboard Option: Rosewood" is just a typo on the website. I am glad to see that PRS/LR Baggs Piezo tremolo. That opens up so many more Private Stock options.
...and if the PTC ever offers a retro-fit for solidbody guitars (already available for hollowbody models), I'd imagine there will be a flood of guys taking the plunge.
Put a Piezo on an SAS with trem or a 513 and you truly have the Swiss Army Knife of gigging guitars.

Winter 2013. It's not really a hardship compared to the thirtysomething odd winters of my lifetime past. No, my problems with this winter are entirely mental. And it's not depression. I simply want out. I am full of energy and ready to start but winter laughs at my impatience. "You will wait until I am good and ready. Sucker."
Today I am a caged animal. I'm howling and shaking the bars and smashing my feeble and pale, vitamin D deficient body at this winter prison. Friends of ours are headed to Cuba next week, and even though I once proclaimed that I would, "…sooner poke my eyeballs out of my head than stroll the beaches of the resort nightmare that is Varadero," I still begged them to take me. And I would go. I would travel inside a large box and I would dance and stumble and shake across those beaches cackling like a madwoman.
Let's look at some pictures I took on trips to Guama and Santiago de Cuba in winters past and pretend that we are there. Let's imagine that there is a warm breeze that smells like jasmine and burning cane fields with a touch of plastic. We can feel the vitamin D surging through our skin as it comes back to life. And we are laughing and dancing; losing and then finding our minds in the sunshine.
I have plenty more photos (and stories) of our trips to Cuba here and here, and there are countless more on my computer and unscanned film that I hope to post someday…

RUSH hour commuters will be forced to wait for at least two crowded trains to go through Chatswood station before being able to continue their journey to the city, under the O'Farrell government's centrepiece $9 billion transport project.
The government's decision to build the north-west rail link as a shuttle between Epping and Chatswood, breaking its promise to allow trains to run all the way to the city, will lead to potential chaos for many north shore and Hills district commuters.
Thousands of commuters disembarking at Chatswood will be unable to get on city-bound trains already operating at capacity. And passengers getting off the north-west trains may struggle to fit on the crowded platform at Chatswood.
With an ''optimised'' timetable for the north-west rail link, more than 40 per cent of peak-hour passengers transferring to the city at Chatswood will be unable to get on the next service because it will be too crowded, according to analysis commissioned by Transport for NSW and obtained by the Herald.
Further, more than 15 per cent of them will be unable to fit on the next two citybound trains on the north shore line.
The analysis was commissioned and done just before the Premier, Barry O'Farrell, and the Transport Minister, Gladys Berejiklian, announced the new model for the north-west rail link on June 20.
Last night Ms Berejiklian said one of two environmental impact statements required for the link has received planning approval.
Under the model, the line will be built and run by a private operator rather than RailCorp. Transport for NSW hired consultants from the engineering firm Arup to look at whether Chatswood Station could cope with the passengers transferring to citybound trains.
Arup modelled what would happen if one peak-hour train on the north shore line was cancelled which, on RailCorp's record, would happen about once a fortnight. In this case, 62 per cent of north-west rail link passengers would not fit on the first train to the city. Almost 40 per cent would not fit on the second train. More than 20 per cent of passengers - about 1900 people - would have to wait for a fourth, fifth or sixth train. In this scenario there would be ''extreme difficulties to alight and to enter the platform from stair'', a summary of the analysis says.
''Patrons entering the station have difficulty moving away from the stair and patrons coming off NWRL services … cannot exit carriages due to congestion,'' the summary says.
Even with a good running service, queueing levels would exceed good practice. ''Modelling doesn't take into consideration the frustration and anxiety of missing trains,'' it says.
The modelling assumes 8880 people will get off the north-west rail link at Chatswood to transfer to the lower north shore or city.
''We are undertaking work to determine what improvements need to be made to the network to run 24 trains an hour,'' he said.
Ms Berejiklian said: ''The government is working to make this a world best-practice interchange and we are confident we will deliver that.
"Everything that has been presented to me by Transport for NSW leaves me in no doubt that Sydney's rail future has been well thought through.''
The government's infrastructure adviser, Infrastructure NSW, will release its plan for new tollroads through the inner west and south of Sydney tomorrow.
It will also recommend building an airport at Badgerys Creek, a move that is not supported by the O'Farrell government.

Molly, a MO-dule for LI-terate programming is a simple self-contained, standalone tool written in core Perl (no extra modules). It creates "Folding HTML" documents out of your Literate Source files on the fly, either as a command line utility or via CGI. It implements a new type of "weaver" for Literate Programming, and has its own built-in tangler. Molly uses the Norman Ramsey "noweb" tool markup (with one sanitizing restricion), and can be used with it. It can also be employed as a standalone script for non-programming purposes to keep notes, long documents, even books in "folding HTML" files.
Pipadoc extracts extracts special comments out of source files or plaintext files and let one define rules how to bring them into proper order. This is somewhat similar to Literate Programming, but it puts the emphasis back to the code, since the source is not extracted from a given "literate text", but the documentation is extracted from the source and then the structure of the generated documentation is defined by the programmer. Pipadoc is programming language and documentation system agnostic, all it requires is that the programming language has some kind of line or block comments in one can place doc statements. It provides a plugin system where one can extend functionality. Some plugins for asciidoc, index generation, and verbatim code sections are provided.
LiPPGen, the Literate-Programming-based Presentation Generator, takes a standard Literate Program (with LaTeX as the documentation language) as input and lets the instructor comfortably generate presentation slides for each code chunk. It then assembles the provided slide texts and the code chunks and turns them into a browser-based presentation. The presentations feature scrollable code chunk listings, primitive syntax highlighting, and line breaking within listings. LiPPGen expects the source file to be formatted in noweb's Literate Programming style.

The sounds of spring
Jason Singh, a leading UK beatboxer has vocally recreated the nation's best-known songbirds to celebrate spring and encourage the nation to get outdoors and experience nature first hand.
The Tweet Music was commissioned by the National Trust after academic research found that listening to birdsong, one of our 50 things, makes people calmer and boosts positivity. Despite this, almost one in five rarely hear birdsong with 19% of city dwellers regularly woken by the noise of cars or planes.

Kenya: Preparing women for leadership
As Kenya prepares for the general election in March 2013, UNDP is equipping women with critical skills to help them run for office.
Women remain underrepresented in political leadership positions in Kenya despite Constitutional quotas, with women's political representation standing at 9.8 percent versus Rwanda's 56 percent, South Africa's 42 percent, Tanzania's 36 percent and Uganda's 35 percent.
A UNDP-managed civil society organization called Amkeni Wakenya has established – in partnership with a group called the Women's Empowerment Link – the Women Leadership Academy, which aims to increase women's participation in governance in Kenya. It is accomplishing these both by advocating for women-friendly policies and by helping women become more skilled at participating in governance processes.
- Women's political representation in Kenya stands at 9.8 percent versus Rwanda's 56 percent, South Africa's 42 percent, Tanzania's 36 percent and Uganda's 35 percent.
- The UNDP-supported Women Leadership Academy aims to increase women's participation in governance.
- Of the 350 women trained so far, 70 have already begun campaigning ahead of March 2013 elections.
So far, more than 350 women from seven rural regions of Kenya have been trained on leadership skills as a result of this initiative. This critical training will prepare them for elective positions at national and county levels. Women receive information on their rights under the new Constitution and take classes on leadership skills, campaigning and fundraising and communication skills. They also learn about Kenya's new governance structure and election rules and how to be involved in political parties.
"The training opened my mind on the various laws governing elections in Kenya, which I did not know about," said Eunice, who participated in the training. "As a result, I'm now more knowledgeable, ensuring I do not do anything that will jeopardize my candidacy."
Of the 350 women trained, 70 have already begun campaigning for various positions to be contested in the upcoming elections. The project also works with a civil society organization called the Women's Think Tank, which analyzes draft legislation. The Women's Academy and Women's Think Tank have analyzed five bills and ensured that feedback provided by women constituents is incorporated in the final drafts.
"Kenya is going through a fluid political process, where parties are forming alliances to compete in the general election in 2013," said Prof. Maria Nzomo, from the Institute of Diplomacy and International Studies at the University of Nairobi. As a result, women in Kenya have a real opportunity to position themselves strategically within the alliances and influence party decisions.

No, clean it.
I was looking at a used Walther P99 today...the gun was in excellent shape. The gun store was nice enough to field strip it for me as well to look at the internals, which were in excellent condition but dirty. Should the fact that the internals were dirty cause me to run the other direction? The rest of the gun looks like it's barely been fired.
No, clean it.
Clean it up if it looks good otherwise. I bought a Kahr CW45 that was absolutely the dirtiest I had ever seen. The previous owner must not have known how to take it apart. Cleaned it up and it has been flawless. Can't always go by looks.
If it looks dirty though, wouldn't that suggest that the previous owner may not have lubricated it properly?
Possibly, it would certainly suggest that the previous owner did not clean it properly.
Maybe the previous owner knew he was going to sell it and didn't feel like cleaning it. You could buy a used gun that had thousand's of rounds thru it and was only ever cleaned once. But if that one time was the day before you bought it....... What's the difference?
I would personally be concerned with the weapon being dirty for the reasons you mentioned. If the owner did not care enough to clean his/her pistol, what else did he/she not care enough to do to it. Also, I would question the quality of the gunshop if the staff there puts a dirty weapon out for sale. A lot of gun stores that sell used weapons claim that they take the weapons through an inspection before selling them. If it is dirty I would think they did not inspect it very well.
I would not buy it unless you are completely convinced there is nothing wrong with it.
If you are as concerned about the gun being dirty as you seem to be, then listen to that inner voice Grasshopper. Otherwise you might be second guessing yourself and that doesn't make for proud gun ownership.
Tell the shop that you will buy it after they clean it and you inspect it one last time. If they want to sell it, they will clean it.

+1 on the internals in excellent condition.
-1 on the internals being dirty.
Not sure how it can appear that it has barely been fired when the impression that you give is that it is extremely filthy inside.The rest of the gun looks like it's barely been fired.
I believe the integrity of the gun store is not in question. They field stripped the gun (which is a display of honesty and intent to sell) and either wasn't aware that it's dirty, don't care, or perhaps it's really not all that dirty. The level of filth can be subjective to ones perception. However, I agree, they should have checked it thoroughly before and should present a clean gun for sale, even the slightest film of residue should have been cleaned off. Does this mean that the gun itself is bad? Not necessarily, it certainly indicates that it wasn't cleaned and also may indicate indolence on the part of the previous owner as well as the gun store. I would follow through with BeefyBeefo's suggestion.

I'm not really concerned about the internals of the gun being dirty so much as wondering if that is an indication that the gun may not have been maintained properly. The rest of the gun looks relatively unused...no wear on the finish, only one small nick on the frame, and very little wear on the outside of the barrel from the slide cycling. The bore is also very clean. Basically I'm only second guessing myself because this would be my first handgun and I am by no means an expert on evaluating used ones.
It would also be a completely moot point if the seller isn't willing to come down from $550 on the price. I was offered a newer model used P99 with a laser at another gun store for just over $600 (wasn't interested though because it was a QA model), and have seen a few others newer models going for around $500 or so. Based on the research I've done into pricing, this particular one I'm looking at (2001 model P99 AS 9mm) is worth about $400-450.
This thread was started based on your concern for cleanliness and now you're saying that your not that concerned about the gun being dirty. Cleaning a gun is maintaining it properly, there's not much else to maintain unless a part malfunctions.
How are 10 round mags a big negative in Virginia?
This gun may be worth $400-$450 but if it's hard to find anywhere else and this is the gun you want then it should be worth more to you.
10 round mags are a negative in Virginia because full-capacity magazines are legal here. It's not like Massachusetts where high-capacity mags are against the law.
I rest my case, this appears to be a pointless merry-go-round.
I thought it was a reasonable question, and a reasonable concern. Glad you posted it.
Matt noted that the internals show little wear, the powder residue is a concern for reliable operation, but easily remedied. I'd suggest that you clear the firearm, and check that the barrel locks up tightly with the slide when in battery. It shouldn't move at all. The slide will move a bit relative to the frame, but the barrel and slide should seem like one piece of steel.
Hope this helps...
Look it over, function test it, buy it, take home, clean, shoot hell out of..........
Well..Being the shop owner had no issue about breaking it down I would say that he know the person that traded it in and trusts the pistol will function fine. I bought a Springfield 9mm 1911 at a gun show that looked inside like it had never been cleaned...EVER!. I was allowed to take the slide off and see that although really dirty everything looked to be OK and bought it. The dealer at the show was a guy I have done business with in a town not too far from me and I knew he was not one that would sell junk so I went for it. It's one of the best shooting guns I have.
Dirty or not you should be able to see if something is really worn or broken. More than likely the owner used some cheap dirty ammo and once decided it was going to go cleaning it just didn't seem important. Personally I can see how someone bring a dirty gun to bargain with but everyone is different I guess.
Hell, Make the dirt work for you and use it as a bargaining tool. "Well..All this crap in it I'm going to have to spend all day cleaning it just so I can fire it myself..."
If you like the gun then go for it. Maybe you can get a 10 day return on it if it does malfunction once you can get to actually shoot it?
You say it's dirty and over priced....... dont buy it. That was an easy solution.
A couple of years ago, I bought a Sig 226 Toledo Police Trade in. When I received the gun from the dealer, it had not been cleaned in ages.
There gunk caked under the grips to the point I had to pry them off with a small screwdriver.
I totally stripped the handun and used two cans of cleaner on it. I replaced the pins and springs.
It has a 3,000 round trigger. What ever officer had this gun, shot it. Smooth like butter.
I bought a Kahr P-45 cheap, because it was filthy and jammed every third or fourth round. The gun shop/shooting range actually let me fire it first, because I was a regular customer. It had two failures to feed in the one magazine I fired, and they knocked off $50 on the spot.
I took it home and cleaned it, shined the feed ramp up a little and returned to the range with four different types of .45 ammo. It loved Sellier & Belliot FMJ's, never jamming once. I fired 50 rounds of it, and then tried the other brands, and they all worked, too, including the Speer Gold Dots that I wanted to carry for an SD round.
My conclusion was that somebody bought it new, fired a box or two of really dirty ammo through it, experienced many failures, couldn't hit anything with it, and found the recoil to be too heavy. When I finished cleaning it, it looked brand new, and was eventually reliable enough that I carried it a lot.
So, I don't worry too much about buying a dirty gun, as long as it shows no signs of abuse. It is my belief that the overwhelming majority of handgun owners never learn to shoot them very well, and soon stop trying. The result is that there are a great number of used guns out there that look like hell, but actually are not even broken in, yet.

U.S. stocks may have closed at five year highs last week, but a long-time market watcher told CNBC on Wednesday that the S&P 500 Index could see a correction from current levels before recovering by year's end.
"I have a bearish outlook," said Byron Wien, Blackstone Advisory Partners vice chairman. "The market will have a swoon here — trade at 1,300, down 10 percent from where it is right now. ... [But] it will end the year pretty flat."
Wien gave his market outlook as No. 2 on his annual Top 10 Market Surprises. He started the list back in 1986, when he was the chief U.S. investment strategist at Morgan Stanley. He said the events on the list have at least a 50 percent chance of happening.
Stocks are poised to head lower because earnings are decelerating, he told "Squawk Box."
"S&P 500 earnings are going to be down year over year," he said, adding that they'll be lower than tempered expectations. "Below $100 ... maybe $95."
Wien expects large-cap multinationals to come through, despite what he said are "too many people making too much stuff out there. ... The world competitive environment is too intense."
(Read More: CNBC's Fab Five Predictions)
No. 10 on Wien's Surprises list dealt with Europe. He said stocks there are in for a rough year — as much as a 10 percent decline — as its mild recession continues.
However, he is bullish on gold as Surprise No. 8, saying prices could rise 14 percent this year, bucking expectations. "Most people think gold has run out of steam."
(Read More: 'Dr. Doom' Faber Sees Possible 10% Gold Correction)
In a press release last week, Wien revealed the following predictions:
- No. 10: The structural problems of Europe remain largely unresolved and the mild recession that began there in 2012 continues. Civil unrest subsides as the weaker countries adjust to austerity. Greece proves successful in implementing policies that reduce wasteful government expenditures and raise revenue from citizens who had been evading taxes. European equities, however, decline 10 percent in sympathy with the U.S. market.
- No. 9: The Japanese economy remains lackluster and the yen declines to 100 against the dollar. The Nikkei 225 continues the strong advance that began in November and trades above 12,000 as exports improve and investors return to the stocks of the world's third largest economy.
- No. 8: Although inflation remains tame, the price of gold reaches $1900 an ounce as central bankers everywhere continue to debase their currencies and the financial markets prove treacherous.
- No. 7: Climate change contributes to another year of crop failures, resulting in grain and livestock prices rising significantly. Demand for grains in developing economies continues to increase as the standard of living rises. More investors focus on commodities as an investment opportunity and increase their allocation to this asset class. Corn rises to $8 a bushel, wheat to $9 a bushel and cattle to $1.50 a pound.
- No. 6: The new leaders in China seem determined to implement reforms to root out corruption, to keep the economy growing at 7 percent or better and to begin to develop improved health care and retirement programs. The Shanghai Composite finally comes alive and the "A" shares are up more than 20 percent in 2013, in contrast with the previous year when Chinese stocks were down and some developing markets, notably India, rose.
- No. 5: In a surprise reversal the Republicans make a major effort to become leaders in immigration policy. They sponsor a bill that paves the way for illegal immigrants to apply for citizenship if they have lived in the United States for a decade, have no criminal record, have a high school education or have served in the military, and can pass an English proficiency test. Their goal for 2016 is to win the Hispanic vote, which they believe has a naturally conservative orientation and which put the Democrats over the top in 2012.
- No. 4: In a surprise reversal the Democrats sponsor a vigorous program to make the United States independent of Middle East oil imports before 2020. The price of West Texas Intermediate crude falls to $70 a barrel. The Administration proposes easing restrictions on hydraulic fracking for oil and gas in less populated areas and allowing more drilling on Federal land. They see energy production, infrastructure and housing as the key job creators in the 2013 economy.
- No. 3: Financial stocks have a rough time, reversing the gains of 2012. Intense competition in commercial and investment banking, together with low trading volumes, puts pressure on profits. Layoffs continue and compensation erodes further. Regulation increases and lawsuits persist as an industry burden.
- No. 2: A profit margin squeeze and limited revenue growth cause 2013 earnings for the Standard & Poor's 500 to decline below $100, disappointing investors. The S&P 500 trades below 1300. Companies complain of limited pricing power in a slow, highly competitive world economic environment.
- No. 1: Iran announces it has adequate enriched uranium to produce a nuclear-armed missile and the International Atomic Energy Agency confirms the claim. Sanctions, the devaluation of the currency, weak economic conditions and diplomacy did not stop the weapons program. The world must deal with Iran as a nuclear threat rather than talk endlessly about how to prevent the nuclear capability from happening. Both the United States and Israel shift to a policy of containment rather than prevention.
Looking back at his top two 2012 Surprises, Wien nailed it.
(Watch Video: Wien's 2012 Market Surprises)
His No. 2 Surprise was "Earnings for American corporations continue to move higher driving the Standard & Poor's 500 above 1,400." The S&P closed last year at 1,426, rising 13 percent.
Wien's No. 1 Surprise for 2012 was "The extraction of oil and gas from shale and rock begins to be a game changer." U.S. Energy Information Administration said on Monday that a boom in shale oil production will raise domestic crude output by a fifth over the next decade. The EIA also expects that the United States will produce 7 percent more natural gas between 2010 and 2035 than previously projected.

Easily the most capable Internet-connected TV ever made, Sony's NSX-GT1 series calls for a tech-savvy buyer who can live with Google TV's growing pains, a touchy remote, and so-so picture quality.
At the 2013 Detroit auto show, Acura unveiled a second NSX concept, an update to what was revealed last year. The new concept shows exterior styling closer to production and the interior design.
Will it be too complicated or hopelessly underwhelming? We check the specs and make an educated guess.
Automotive News reports on Honda's work on a new supercar.
Acura took the cover off its NSX concept, a return to a sportier form for the company. But this Acura boasts a new hybrid powertrain that should give it excellent handling.
The triumphant return of the Acura NSX in concept form and in a hybrid powertrain highlights this year's 2012 Detroit auto show.
This boldly designed all-wheel-drive hybrid reinvigorates the NSX. No wonder Tony Stark drives one in "The Avengers."
Do you remember a time when Honda, and by extension US-centric Acura too, was, well, desirable?
Reborn as an all-wheel-drive hybrid concept, Acura's NSX already has Hollywood bragging rights.
Acura said it will bring a concept version of a new NSX model to the 2012 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, along with a compact sedan concept. Honda also announced a new Accord concept.

Management of Dead Bodies After Disasters
A Field Manual for First Responders
Management of the dead is one of the most difficult aspects of disaster response. It has profound and long-lasting consequences for survivors and communities. Globally, disasters claim thousands of lives each year. However, care of the deceased is often overlooked in disaster planning and the absence of guidance for first responders has recently been highlighted following several large disasters. This Field Manual for First Responders presents simple recommendations for non-specialists to manage the recovery, basic identification, storage and disposal of dead bodies following disasters. It also makes suggestions about providing support to family members and communicating with the public and the media.
This manual will be useful during the immediate response to a disaster and where forensic response is unavailable. Furthermore, it will be useful for those preparing mass fatality disaster plans. The recommendations are relevant for local, regional and national authorities as well as for non-governmental organizations. The principles outlined in this document are being implemented and promoted by a variety of organizations, including the Pan American Health Organization, the World Health Organization, the International Committee of the Red Cross and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.
The Manual has undergone an extensive peer review process. We have received comments from 8 technical reviewers: the chair of INTERPOLs DVI committee, the Head Forensic Pathologist at the Home Office in the UK, a forensic specialist in Sri Lanka, two disaster managers in the Caribbean, an academic disaster expert in the UK, a human rights specialist from ICRC and an international disaster professional. In addition, the manual has also been reviewed by attendees of a meeting of forensic specialists in Colombia, 15 Public Health leaders from 9 Asian countries at a regional meeting about mass fatality management, and forensic experts from Jordan who participated in an ICRC workshop. In addition, the draft manual and forms were used in the field following the earthquake in Pakistan and mud-slide in the Philippines.

Was afraid of hitting players though he hit more players than any other pitcher in baseball history(him and Craig Biggio would have had quite some matchups)
He played for the Senators his entire MLB career from 1907 to 1927 for the initially woeful Senators,and helped make them world champs(though only once.When the sporting news named the top 100 players of all time Johnson was #4.He was aslo among the 5 players who were in the first Hall Of fame class,which were (firgive me if I'm wrong)George Sisler,Rogers Hornsby,Babe Ruth,and Ty Cobb.
He was one of baseball's elite,give him his due.

PBGC's FY2013 Annual Report, released Friday, provides a detailed summary of our year — both successes and areas for improvement.
The 125-page review of the agency covers the period beginning Oct. 1, 2012 and ending Sept. 30, 2013. PBGC's deficit increased to about $36 billion in FY2013, up from about $34 billion last year.
Opening with messages from PBGC Board Chair, Secretary of Labor, Thomas E. Perez and PBGC Director Josh Gotbaum, the report examines ways to improve the agency's financial health and highlights our great scores in customer service.
Retirees receiving benefits continue to rate PBGC as one of the best in government for its commitment to customer service. The agency ranks in the top 3 percent in a survey measuring 154 categories of customer responsiveness. Retirees gave PBGC a score of 90 on the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI), more than 20 points above the government average. A score of 80 or higher is considered excellent, whether for a government agency or a private business.
Aside from our distinguished customer service, the report also discusses three overarching goals:
Since you're a Retirement Matters subscriber, you've been kept abreast of PBGC news as it happens. This report can give you further insight on the year in review at PBGC.

PBGC Director Josh Gotbaum addressed the American Academy of Actuaries board last week. He applauded the academy's discussion paper, "Risky Business: Living Longer Without Income for Life," and encouraged the group to continue its lifetime income initiative. Gotbaum also discussed PBGC's efforts promoting sound retirement systems, and provided several ideas for how Congress, the public, and employers could each do their part to make sufficient lifetime income a reality.
In August, an analysis by the academy supported the methods used by PBGC to calculate the agency's financial position. "The Pension Committee of the American Academy of Actuaries believes the methods and assumptions used by the PBGC produce a reasonable representation of the PBGC's current obligation and deficit," the group said.
Editor's note: Portions of this blog post were reprinted from This Week with permission from the American Academy of Actuaries.
Should the government shutdown, PBGC will stay open for business. All of us at PBGC—federal employees and contractors—will remain on the job. We will continue to pay benefits to the retirees who depend on us, to do our other work, and to honor our obligations.
This is not new. PBGC stayed open throughout the government shutdowns in 1995-96. That's because PBGC is different from most government agencies: Our funds are paid for by insurance premiums and plan assets, not taxpayer dollars.
As always, PBGC regards it as especially important to continue to do our work well, diligently, and with the dedication America's workers and retirees deserve.
The Wall Street Journal CFO Network Annual Meeting 2013 wrapped up last month. PBGC Director Josh Gotbaum participated in an interview session titled "The Great American Pension Crisis: Funding Past Promises and Future Retirement."
In his interview with Gabriella Stern, Deputy Managing Editor, WSJ Digital Network, Director Gotbaum focused on how U.S. companies will tackle mounting pension obligations in the coming years.
Dallas Salisbury, President and CEO, Employee Benefit Research Institute, also offered perspectives.
Take a look at the Dow Jones video recording of the interview. NOTE: The video may take a minute or two to fully load.
Did you catch Director Josh Gotbaum's interview on C-SPAN? In case you missed it, we've got the details.
Josh spoke with Bob Litan, director of research at Bloomberg Government, about PBGC's efforts to safeguard the pensions of millions of Americans. Another trending topic Director Gotbaum spoke about: multiemployer pension plans and PBGC's multiemployer program.
Then, the conversation gained added insights from panelists Earl Pomeroy, Cary Franklin, Norman Stein, and Randy DeFrehn.
Together, the panelists and Director Gotbaum talked about the need for pension reform.
Check out Director Gotbaum's remarks on C-SPAN.
PBGC's FY2012 Annual Report, released today, gives insight on the work we've been doing here at the agency. The roughly 120 page report covers the period that ended September 30, 2012.
The report kicks off with messages from the PBGC Board Chair, Hilda L. Solis and PBGC Director Josh Gotbaum, and highlights our great scores in customer service.
Retirees who rely on PBGC for their pension benefits rate the agency as one of the best in government.
We received a score of 89 on the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI). That's more than 20 points above the government average (a score of 80 or higher is considered excellent, whether for a government agency or a private business). For retirees, the ease of applying for benefits and the reliability of monthly payments are of high importance, and they gave us high ratings in both categories.
Aside from our stand out customer service, the report also features:

On tap at O'Brien's. Pint glass.
A: Pours red-tinted golden color with a finger of off-white, beautiful head, swaths of lacing, superb clarity. Very good retention.
S: The nose is somewhat faint, unfortunately, but you get the breadiness and juicy citrus (grapefruit, orange) and some bright amber malt.
T: The highlight of the taste is the really good balance between the bread/spice and citrus/pine. Citrus imparts nice brightness, and the bitterness on the finish is very subtle.
M: Smooth yet crisp, medium body, light carbonation.
O: Not at all what I was expecting. This is a tasty, lighter beer that reminds me more of an ESB than amber (due to malt profile). Really drinkable.

On Tap
Alpine Beer Company Pub
Alpine, CA
Clear amber and a thin off-white head that leaves dots of stick down the glass.
Simple aroma of bright hops, bready malts, and a hint of success. This doesn't blow me away like some other hop-forward beers brewed by Alpine, though it's still most certainly better than average.
The flavor is simple though complete, with relatively high bitterness for the style leading the way, along with some citrus hop components, bread, and a bit of caramel sweetness.
Medium bodied with moderate to high carbonation. Extremely drinkable. Clean, crisp, refreshing, disappearing.
This is a big, bitter amber that pairs amazingly well with the pulled pork sandwich and green bean fries at the Alpine Beer Company Pub.

Reviewed from notes, poured on tap at Obriens pub on 6/21 or whenever BA Speedway was released. Poured a amber/red with a finger+ of white luscious head that dissipates quickly. Nose isnt too complex, but I find a floral hoppyness along with a malty background. Taste is better, I get more hops than in the nose, which fades into a caramel and oak finish. Bitter aftertaste. Body is great, balances well with the flavor profile, could turn down the bitter faucet though. Overall, ABC did well once again, very refreshing and heavy enough to fulfill the crave.

A: Pours a nice auburn color with beige head.
S: Carmel, hops, some roasted malts.
T: Slightly sweet on the front end with a nice amount of bittering hops in the back end of this one. There is some caramel notes in there, maybe a little bit of pine.
M: Nicely carbonated.
O: Only brewed during major soccer tournaments. This is a hop forward red with a nice balance. Well done.

Tap pour from the brewpub.
A: Red-copper in color, nice foamy head, plenty of patchy lacing
S: Floral, piny hops stream from the glass, but this has a lot more malt presence than other alpine offerings. Bready, yeasty fresh. Lots of fruity notes, tangerine prominent.
T: Again, hop-forward, but the huge malt-backbone
distinguishes the profile. Candied orange, apple, general citrus notes. Bready, slightly stodgy but appropriate for the style. Even with the complexity, sharp hops are still prominent throughout the sip, and bitter tones carry to a bitter-sweet finish.
M. Nice oily-slick mouthfeel. Medium-bodied, not sticky, but smooth and satisfying
Alpine has been putting out some of the best beer I've had, and their new specialties are just spot on. Red card is yet another. The guys at the pub are liking this one and saying we should be seeing more of this.

look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5
On cask at O'Brien's, but I opted for the tap version. 10oz glass.
A: Orange tinged red with a voluminous beige head. The color is certainly attractive, and the head retention is most impressive, as is the lacing. Off to a good start.
A: Dank and resinous, with ample fruit: orange, tangerine, peach, and grapefruit flesh. Tons of hop flavor, but unlike most hoppy Alpine beers, this has noticeable malt behind it which lends caramel and a whisper of bread. Smells great. Hops are vibrant and there's a nice malt presence.
T: Orange and tangerine with a lower moderate bitterness. The hop flavor is expressive and bright. Orange flesh waxes in strength midpalate and caramel malt steps in to add depth and balance, but only a little sweetness. Pine resin is restrained. The finish is orange, tangerine, a little grapefruit, and caramel. Pine returns at the end. Very nice. Alcohol is deftly masked.
M: Medium in body with upper moderate carbonation. Mouthfeel is sticky and dry.
Overall: An excellent hoppy red ale. Highly recommended. I prefer this second batch to the first.

Picked up a growler at Alpine Brewing for $12. and poured it into an Odell branded stemmed tulip glass.
Alpine Brewery's beer board states 6.5% ABV, not 6.2% as shown above.
Pours a clean burnt orange hue with golden edges when held up to a light source, fat tan head with ridiculous amounts of lacing that coat the inside of my glass from start to finish. Smell is fresh and grassy - like sniffing a bag of fresh hop pellets from the local home brew shop, fresh milled grain, taffy and tropical fruit. Flavor is sweet, lightly roasted malt up front, but fresh grassy hops hit the palate almost immediately after and stick around for a while - resinous and bitter. Great balance of flavors, but as one would expect from Alpine, the hop wins out in the long run. Mouthfeel is on the lighter side of medium bodied, perfect carbonation for the style, finishes dry, with tons of bitter resinous hop oils lingering on the palate for a while.

Growler courtesy of yourefragile...I probably am, but he is not.
I'm a fan of a good Amber and this is certainly one of them. Poured into Hill Farmstead wine glass and this looks typical for the style. Amber in color, believe that shit or not. Nice off-white head. Smell is rather hoppy with lots of citrus. Taste is like a well done hopped up amber. Not as hoppy as any of their IPA/DIPAs, but I would drink this bitch quite frequently if it were available around yonder. Carbonation and mouthfeel are spot on. Another tasty beverage from Alpine.

Growler shared by yourefragile. Thanks Michael!
The beer is a clear, amber hue with a decent sized head and a fair amount of lacing. The aroma brings some really fresh citrus and hops. A distinctly Alpine aroma, something I have come to appreciate, this is going to be a wonderful beer. Indeed, another terrific hop forward offering from Alpine. Not quite as hoppy as many of their other offerings, this one is still hop forward, with a very minimal malt presence. The feel is creamy and smooth. Dangerously drinkable, we made short work of the growler. I would really enjoy having this again.

Growler courtesy of yourefragile at last Thursday's mini-tasting. Served in a HopCat tulip.
Pours a clear reddish-amber color with an average white head and some spotty lacing on the way down. Thin cap throughout. The nose brings a moderate amount of bready, caramelized malt plus a good dosing of citrus and pine hops. The flavor is pine hops with a bit of resin atop a base of amber malt and some light sweetness. Moderate bitterness in the finish. Medium body and fairly chewy. Nice offering, though not quite as good as other brews I've had from Alpine.

From 07/07/11 notes. Big thanks to yourefragile for providing a growler of this one.
a - Pours a somewhat transparent reddish amber color with two inches of white head and moderate carbonation evident.
s - Smells of citrus hops, pine hops, caramel malts, and fruity malts. More hops than I was expecting, though not a hop bomb at all, and very enjoyable.
t - Tastes of fruity malts, caramel malts, bready malts, and light citrus hops. More malts here and not as much hops than the nose had, but still quite good.
m - Medium body and low to moderate carbonation. Nice mouthfeel.
o - Overall a really good amber ale and another winner from Alpine. Not my favorite as I like their hoppier beers better, but great for an amber ale. Would certainly have it again.

Growler sent by Rich and shared with some friends. Hit a few samples of this before we killed it rather quickly.
I'll start by saying this is the type of style (a hoppy, light amber) that has a much lower upper bound on potential than some other styles do for me personally. That said, this was perfect for the style and ridiculously "drinkable".
Pours a dark, clear auburn with a thick, creamy beige head. Long retention and abundant lacing.
Aroma is potent and aggressive, hitting you in the face as soon as the growler is opened. Floral, piney, caramel malt and mild earth and grass notes.
Chewy and medium light bodied, with a strong resin and caramel malt body with a nice finish of earthy and pine hops. It didn't quite hook me at first, but by the second or third glass i was sad to see the beer disappear.

Shared by yourefragile the other night. Poured into a snifter beer is red and clear with an offwhite head of small bubbles, some carbonation, some lacing looks good.
Has this sort of CTZ aroma and some earthy bitterness in the nose.
The overall beer is medium in body with nice carbonation, chewy on the palate, lots of hop flavors, earthy piny, interesting. Very good beer overall I really enjoyed it. I'd have it again, I went back for fourths.

S - Piney hops in the front. Subtle malt, though hard to discern, underneath.
T - Pine hops prevail here too. Some caramelized, dark sugar evident too.
M - Nice balance, great carb, very creamy texture.

Brewed for the 2010 World Cup.
Poured from a growler filled at the brewery on July 3, 2010. Consumed on the 4th of July!
This is one of the best looking beers I've ever seen! Deep red with a brown/amber twist! There's a nice frothy white head that quickly recedes leaving good lace and bubbles sticking to the glass. A white foam covers the top of my brew the entire time.
Smells of huge fresh barley with a good hop presence. The hops have an instant floral hit, but subside to a beautiful pine aroma. The combination of the hops and malts is absolutely beautiful! There are hints of caramel, but they are subtle.
The hops aren't overwhelming in the mouth and they don't over power the malts. One of the most well balanced, if not the best balanced beer I've ever had. There's a perfect amount of bitterness to offset the taste of grains. Everything about an irish red is present here, with a bigger hop profile.
Unfortunately I don't remember the ABV on this, but it's very drinkable and I feel would go very well with BBQ. Perfect 4th of July beer!!

Here's a cold, hard fact that every online marketer should always keep in mind -- search engines don't owe your website anything.
by Betty Strigens, Senior Social Content Specialist, Hanson Dodge Creative
It's easy to compare a Social Media community to one big party – where anyone from your grandmother to your wildest friend from college might chime in on the conversation. But unlike most gatherings, every word ofthis conversation is recorded for posterity. And if you're a brand – or act on behalf of a brand – setting the scene is more important than ever.
Fact: Google Plus is the second largest social media outlet after Facebook.
Truth is, if you're not using Google Plus as part of the strategic mix for your business, you're behind the game with regard to organic and paid search benefits.
Don't let your competitors beat you to it. Below are six reasons why your business should be using Google Plus right now.
Today's consumers care about eating the right foods, monitoring their health and the health of their families, and keeping the environment–in which they work and play–alive and well. Subsequently, they care more about the brands that help them do all of the above and that share a common belief system.
A successful direct e-commerce program has the power to transform your business. E-commerce opens the door to a stronger brand, solid MAP pricing for your products, an energized bricks-and-mortar retail effort and, of course, a better understanding of and closer relationship with your customers.
More than 80% of today's consumers research products online before buying. As a result, manufacturers and retailers need to have an integrated plan to engage customers in their buying journey.
When it comes to the Super Bowl and corporate promotion, most people think of the oft' hyped game day commercials. But one company cleverly leveraged this year's event — and the simple concept of a weather forecast — to launch a new service offering well in advance of game day, resulting in a virtual blizzard of publicity.

The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in Los Angeles County recorded its largest daily decrease in at least two years Thursday, falling 4.5 cents to $4.358.
The average price has dropped for 16 consecutive days, falling 34.7 cents over that span, after rising 50.4 cents over the previous seven days to a record high of $4.705, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service.
The average price is 23 cents less than it was one week ago, but 21.2 cents more than one month ago and 48.4 cents higher than one year ago.
The dropping prices are the result of the end of "the supply crisis that originally caused the panic in early October," Marie Montgomery Nordhues of the Automobile Club of Southern California told City News Service, referring to a gasoline shortfall resulting from problems at California refineries.
